A young girl stands on a stage in a red and black costume, posed inside a large ornate gold circular frame draped with red curtains. She wears a yellow and green bead garland, layered beaded necklaces, a gold pendant, and a red sash at her hip, and holds a tall gold trident upright in her right hand. Her forehead bears a tilak and a red mark on her face. A small trident and a kalasha-like finial stand nearby; a blue-lit backdrop shows a large trident and a stylised figure. A red flower-petal carpet covers the stage floor. The scene reads as a staged dance or tableau performance.2018-05-20A young girl stands on a stage inside a large ornate gold circular frame, holding a tall golden trident in her right hand with her left hand on her hip. She wears a red blouse and red skirt-like drape, a black and white patterned bodice with a rudraksha-style bead mala, a yellow-green bead garland, and gold jewellery including a forehead ornament.

He wears an orange-saffron dhoti and a leopard-print shawl, with a long rudraksha mala and a white-and-red forehead mark. In his right hand he holds a silver trident, and his arms are adorned with dark beaded bracelets. Coloured stage lighting in pink and green fills the background. The shoulder-length hair and ornate saffron dress are visible cues, and the frame and throne suggest a staged ceremonial appearance; the figure is a person.2012-10-17May 20 20182018-05-20September 15 20122012-09-15A seated man in red-orange ceremonial robes sits on an ornate gilded throne (peetha) with golden floral carvings and a large arched backrest, under red and green stage lighting.

A small dark dog sits at the base of the throne, and a brass oil lamp stands at the left edge.

He stands at the left holding a silver trident in his right hand, smiling, with long dark swept-back hair and a red tilak on his forehead. He wears a tiger-striped garment with a rudraksha mala and a long necklace of white skull-shaped beads, a dark red sash at the waist, and beaded bracelets on his wrists and upper arms. A small microphone is attached near his face. Because he is the only person visible, the figure appears to be a costumed performer in a deity-like role; the frame shows no devotees or other people.2013-01-11March 04 20132013-03-04 +1 copies
